1. Replacement Time (Life Limits)

A. The FAA establishes specific life limits for certain component
parts, as well as the entire propeller. Such limits require
replacement of the identified parts after a specified number
of hours of use.
B. The following data summarizes all current information
concerning Hartzell life limited parts as related to propeller
models affected by this manual. These parts are not life
limited on other installations; however, time accumulated
toward life limit accrues when first operated on aircraft/
engine/propeller combinations listed, and continues
regardless of subsequent installations (which may or
may not be life limited).

1. Purpose
CAUTION: KEEP THIS MANUAL WITH THE PROPELLER
OR WITH THE AIRCRAFT ON WHICH IT IS
INSTALLED, AT ALL TIMES. THE LOG BOOK
RECORD WITHIN THIS MANUAL MUST BE
MAINTAINED, RETAINED CONCURRENTLY,
AND BECOME A PART OF THE AIRCRAFT AND
ENGINE SERVICE RECORDS.
This manual supports constant speed feathering and constant
speed feathering and reversing lightweight turbine propellers with
aluminum blades.
The purpose of this manual is to enable qualified personnel to
install, operate, and maintain a Hartzell Constant Speed
Feathering or Constant Speed Feathering and Reversing
Lightweight Turbine Propeller. Separate manuals are available
concerning overhaul procedures and specifications for the
propeller.
This manual covers several design types. Sample hub and blade
model numbers within this design are covered in the Description
and Operation chapter of this manual.
NOTE: All propeller models covered by this manual use
aluminum propeller blades. Identical propeller types
that use composite blades are supported by Hartzell
Manual 147 (61-00-47).
2. Airworthiness Limits
Refer to the Airworthiness Limitations chapter of this manual for
Airworthiness Limits information.

3. Airframe or Engine Modifications

A. Propellers are approved vibrationwise on airframe and engine
combinations based on tests or analysis of similar installations.
This data has demonstrated that propeller stress levels are
affected by airframe configuration, airspeed, weight, power,
engine configuration and approved flight maneuvers. Aircraft
modifications that can effect propeller stress include, but
are not limited to: aerodynamic changes ahead of or behind
the propeller, realignment of the thrust axis, increasing or
decreasing airspeed limits, increasing or decreasing weight
limits (less significant on piston engines), and the addition of
approved flight maneuvers (utility and aerobatic).
B. Engine modifications can also affect the propeller. The two
primary categories of engine modifications are those that
affect structure and those that affect power. An example of a
structural engine modification is the alteration of the
crankshaft or damper of a piston engine. Any change to the
weight, stiffness or tuning of rotating components could result
in a potentially dangerous resonant condition that is not
detectable by the pilot. Most common engine modifications
affect the power during some phase of operation. Some
modifications increase the maximum power output, while
others improve the power available during hot and high
operation (flat rating) or at off-peak conditions. Examples of
such engine modifications include, but are not limited to:
changes to the compressor, power turbine or hot section of a
turboprop engine; and on piston engines, the addition or
alteration of a turbocharger or turbonormalizer, increased
compression ratio, increased rpm, altered ignition timing,
electronic ignition, full authority digital electronic controls
(FADEC), or tuned induction or exhaust.
C. All such modifications must be reviewed and approved by the
propeller manufacturer before obtaining approval on the
aircraft.
Page 1-4
INTRODUCTION 61-00-49 Rev. 10 Sep/07
149
(7) Before installing the propeller on the engine, the

propeller must be static balanced. New propellers are
statically balanced at Hartzell. Overhauled propellers
must be statically balanced by the overhaul facility
before return to service.
(a) Dynamic balance is recommended, but may be
accomplished at the discretion of the operator,
unless specifically required by the airframe or engine
manufacturer.
1 Perform dynamic balance in accordance with the
Maintenance Practices chapter of this manual.
2 Additional procedures may be found in the
aircraft maintenance manual.
(8) As necessary, use a soft, non-graphite pencil or crayon
to make identifying marks on components.
(9) As applicable, follow military standard NASM33540 for
safety wire and cotter pin general practices. Use 0.032
inch (0.81 mm) diameter stainless steel safety wire
unless otherwise indicated.

1. Pre-Flight Checks
Follow propeller preflight inspection procedures as specified in
the aircraft maintenance manual, air carrier’s operational
specifications, or this manual. In addition, perform the following
inspections:
A. Blades
(1) Visually inspect the entire blade (lead, trail, face, and
camber sides) for nicks, gouges, and cracks. Refer
to the Maintenance Practices chapter of this manual,
for blade repair information. Normal blade lead edge
erosion (sand-blasted appearance) is acceptable, and
does not require removal before further flight.
(2) Visually inspect the blades for lightning strike. Refer to
Lightning Strike Damage information in the Special
Inspections section of this chapter.
B. Inspect the spinner and visible blade retention components
for damage or cracks. Repair or replace components as
required before further flight.
C. Check for loose/missing hardware. Retighten or reinstall as
necessary.
WARNING: ABNORMAL GREASE LEAKAGE CAN BE AN
INDICATION OF A FAILING PROPELLER
BLADE OR BLADE RETENTION COMPONENT.
AN IN-FLIGHT BLADE SEPARATION CAN
RESULT IN A CATASTROPHIC AIRCRAFT
ACCIDENT.
D. Inspect for grease and oil leakage and determine its source.
E. Check the blades for radial play or movement of the blade tip
(in and out or back and forth). Refer to Loose Blades in the
Inspection Procedures section of this chapter for blade play
limits.
F. Inspect de-ice boots (if installed) for damage. Refer to the
Anti-ice and De-ice Systems chapter of this manual for
inspection information.
G. Check the propeller speed control and operation from
reverse or low pitch to high pitch, using the procedure
specified in the Pilot Operating Handbook (POH) for the
aircraft.

INSPECTION AND CHECK 61-00-49 Rev. 10 Sep/07
149
B. Periodic Maintenance
Lubricate the propeller assembly. Refer to Lubrication in the
Maintenances Practices chapter of this manual for intervals
and procedures.
C. Airworthiness Limitations
(1) Certain components, as well as the entire propeller may
have specific life limits established as part of the
certification by the FAA. Such limits call for mandatory
replacement of specified parts after a defined number of
hours and/or cycles of use.
(2) Life limited component times may exist for the
propeller models included in this manual. Refer to the
Airworthiness Limitations chapter of this manual.
(3) Operators are urged to keep informed of airworthiness
information via Hartzell Service Bulletins and Service
Letters, which are available from Hartzell distributors
or from the Hartzell factory by subscription. Selected
information is also available on Hartzell Propeller’s
website at www.hartzellprop.com.
Page 5-9
149
D. Overhaul Periods
(1) General
(a) In flight, the propeller is constantly subjected to
vibration from the engine and the airstream, as well
as high centrifugal forces.
(b) The propeller is also subject to corrosion, as well
as general deterioration due to aging. Under these
conditions, metal fatigue or mechanical failures can
occur.
(c) To protect your safety and your investment, and
to maximize the safe operating lifetime of your
propeller, it is essential that a propeller be properly
maintained and overhauled according to the
recommended service procedures.
(d) Agricultural category aircraft are defined as aircraft
used as aerial applicators as defined in 14 CFR
137.3, as specified in FAA order 8700.1, including
forest fire-fighting activities. These operations
may expose the propeller to a relatively severe
chemical/corrosive environment. Once installed on
an agricultural aircraft, the 36 month overhaul limit is
to be maintained until overhaul is performed, even
if the propeller is later installed on a non-agricultural
aircraft.
(e) Acrobatic (aerobatic) category aircraft are defined
as certificated acrobatic (aerobatic) category aircraft
or other aircraft routinely exposed to maneuvers
beyond those specified for utility category aircraft as
defined in 14 CFR 23.3. Once a propeller is used on
an aerobatic aircraft, the specified overhaul times
for an aerobatic propeller are to be maintained until
overhaul is performed, even if the propeller is later
installed on a non-aerobatic aircraft.
(f) Fire fighting category aircraft are defined as
aircraft used solely and exclusively for fire fighting
operations and related training flights.
(g) This section contains the overhaul limits for Hartzell
lightweight propellers installed on turbine engines.
Page 5-10
149
F. Loose Blades
Refer to Figure 5-2. Limits for blade looseness are as
follows:
End Play See Note Below
Fore & Aft Play See Note Below
In & Out None
Radial Play (pitch change) ± 0.5 degree
(1 degree total)
NOTE: Blades are intended to be tight in the propeller,
however slight movement is acceptable if the
blade returns to its original position when released.
Blades with excessive movement, or that do not
return to their original position when released may
indicate internal wear or damage that should be
referred to an authorized propeller repair station.
Page 5-27
149
G. Preload Plate Set Screw

(1) Manually rotate the propeller and listen for possible
noise caused by a broken set or jam nut that may be
loose in the propeller hub.
(2) With the propeller blades in feathered position, make
sure the feather (low) stop nuts are seated on the
reverse adjustment sleeve or plate. Refer to Figures 2-2
through 2-8 in the Description and Operation chapter.
(3) If there is noise indicating a loose part or the propeller
blades do not go completely to feather, remove the
propeller. Send the propeller to a repair station for
disassembly and inspection for a possible broken
preload plate set screw.
(a) If a broken set screw is found, the propeller must be
inspected for damage that may have been caused
by the broken set screw.
(b) Report any such incidents to the Hartzell Product
Support Department.
Page 5-28
149
2. Lubrication
A. Lubrication Intervals
(1) The propeller is to be lubricated at intervals not to exceed
400 hours or (12) calendar months, whichever occurs first.
(a) The HC-E5( )-3( ) propeller installed on Piaggio
P-180 is to be lubricated at 150 hour intervals
or at twelve (12) calendar months, whichever
occurs first, all other applications is to be
lubricated at 400 hour intervals.
(b) If annual operation is significantly less than 400
hours, calendar lubrication intervals should be
reduced to six months.
(c) If the aircraft is operated or stored under
adverse atmospheric conditions, e.g., high humidity,
salt air, calendar lubrication intervals should be
reduced to six months.
(2) Owners of high use aircraft may wish to extend their
lubrication intervals. Lubrication interval may be
gradually extended after evaluation of previous propeller
overhauls with regard to bearing wear and internal
corrosion.
(3) Hartzell recommends that new or newly overhauled
propellers be lubricated after the first one or two hours
of operation because centrifugal loads will pack and
redistribute grease, which may result in a propeller
imbalance. Redistribution of grease may also result in
voids in the blade bearing area where moisture can collect.
(a) Purchasers of new aircraft should check the
propeller logbook to verify whether the propeller was
lubricated by the manufacturer during flight testing.
If it was not lubricated, the propeller should be
serviced at the earliest convenience.
Page 6-5
MAINTENANCE PRACTICES 61-00-49 Rev. 11 Nov/09
149
B. Lubrication Procedure
CAUTION: FOLLOW LUBRICATION PROCEDURES
CORRECTLY TO MAINTAIN ACCURATE
BALANCE OF THE PROPELLER ASSEMBLY.
(1) Remove the propeller spinner.
(2) Refer to Figure 6-1. Each blade socket has two lubrication
fittings. Remove the lubrication fitting caps from the
lubrication fittings. Remove the lubrication fittings from
either the cylinder side or the engine side of the hub
assembly.
NOTE: It is preferable to apply grease to the fitting
located nearest the leading edge of the blade
on a tractor installation and nearest the trailing
edge on a pusher installation. Lubricating at
this location reduces the possibility of grease
bypassing the bearing area and entering the
hub cavity.
(a) A 45 degree lubrication fitting (Hartzell P/N C-6349)
may be installed on the engine-side or cylinder-
side of the propeller in any location where a straight
lubrication fitting (Hartzell P/N A-279) was originally
installed. The 45 degree lubrication fitting simplifies
lubrication.
(b) The lubrication fittings installed on the engine-side or
cylinder-side must be either all straight (Hartzell P/N
A-279) or all 45 degree (Hartzell P/N C-6349).
(3) Using a piece of safety wire, loosen any blockage or
hardened grease at the threaded holes where the
lubrication fitting was removed.
WARNING: WHEN MIXING AEROSHELL GREASES 5
AND 6, AEROSHELL GREASE 5 MUST BE
INDICATED ON THE LABEL (HARTZELL
P/N A-3594) AND THE AIRCRAFT MUST BE
PLACARDED TO INDICATE THAT FLIGHT
IS PROHIBITED IF THE OUTSIDE AIR
TEMPERATURE IS LESS THAN -40°F (-40°C).
Page 6-6
MAINTENANCE PRACTICES 61-00-49 Rev. 10 Sep/07
149
4. Blade Repairs
WARNING: ALL NICKS, GOUGES, OR SCRATCHES OF
ANY SIZE CAN CREATE A STRESS RISER
THAT COULD POTENTIALLY LEAD TO BLADE
CRACKING. ALL DAMAGE SHOULD BE
VISUALLY EXAMINED CAREFULLY BEFORE
FLIGHT FOR THE PRESENCE OF CRACKS
OR OTHER ABNORMALITIES.
CAUTION: BLADES THAT HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY

REPAIRED OR OVERHAULED MAY HAVE
BEEN DIMENSIONALLY REDUCED. BEFORE
REPAIRING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE OR MAKING
REPAIRS ON BLADES THAT ARE APPROACHING
SERVICEABLE LIMITS, CONTACT AN
APPROPRIATELY LICENSED PROPELLER
REPAIR FACILITY OR THE HARTZELL PRODUCT
SUPPORT DEPARTMENT FOR BLADE
DIMENSIONAL LIMITS.
Nicks, gouges, and scratches on blade surfaces or on the leading
or trailing edges of the blade must be removed before flight. Field
repair of small nicks and scratches may be performed by
qualified personnel in accordance with FAA Advisory Circular
43.13-1B, as well as the procedures specified below. Normal blade
lead edge erosion (sand-blasted appearance) is acceptable, and
does not require removal before further flight.
A. Repair of Nicks and Gouges
Local repairs may be made using files, electrical or air
powered equipment. Emery cloth, scotch brite, and crocus
cloth are to be used for final finishing. Refer to Figure 6-2.
Page 6-11
149
CAUTION 1: REWORK THAT INVOLVES COLD

WORKING THE METAL, RESULTING
IN CONCEALMENT OF A DAMAGED
AREA, IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. A STRESS
CONCENTRATION MAY EXIST THAT CAN
RESULT IN A BLADE FAILURE.
CAUTION 2: BLADES THAT HAVE BEEN SHOT PEENED

(AS INDICATED BY A "PEBBLE GRAIN"
SURFACE) THAT HAVE DAMAGE IN THE
SHOT PEENED AREAS IN EXCESS OF
0.015 INCH (0.38 mm) DEEP ON THE FACE
OR CAMBER OR 0.250 INCH (6.35 mm) ON
THE LEADING OR TRAILING EDGES
MUST BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE,
AND THE REWORKED AREA SHOT
PEENED BEFORE FURTHER FLIGHT.
SHOT PEENING OF AN ALUMINUM BLADE
MUST BE ACCOMPLISHED BY AN
APPROPRIATELY LICENSED REPAIR
FACILITY IN ACCORDANCE WITH
HARTZELL ALUMINUM BLADE MANUAL
133C (61-13-33).
(1) Repairs to the leading or trailing edge are to be
accomplished by removing material from the bottom of
the damaged area. Remove material from this point out
to both sides of the damage, providing a smooth, faired
depression that maintains the general original airfoil
shape.
(2) Repairs to the blade face or camber should be made in
the same manner as above. Repairs that form a
continuous line across the blade section (chordwise) are
not permitted.
(3) The area of repair should be determined as follows:
Leading and trailing edge damage: Depth of nick x 10.
Face and camber: Depth of nick x 20. Refer to Figure 6-2.
NOTE: Leading edge includes the first 10 percent
of chord from the leading edge. The trailing
edge consists of the last 20 percent of chord
adjacent to the trailing edge.
Page 6-12
149
(4) After filing or sanding of the damaged area, the area

must then be polished, first with emery cloth or Scotch
Brite Pad , and finally with crocus cloth to remove any
traces of filing.
(5) Inspect the repaired area with a 10X magnifying glass.
(a) Make sure that indications of the damage, file marks,
or coarse surface finish do not remain.
(b) Perform a penetrant inspection in accordance with
Hartzell Standard Practices Manual 202A (61-01-02).
(6) Treat the repaired area to prevent corrosion.
(a) Apply chemical conversion coating and approved
paint to the repaired area before returning the
blade to service. Refer to the section "Painting After
Repair" in this chapter.
B. Repair of Bent Blades
CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO "PRE-STRAIGHTEN"
A BLADE BEFORE DELIVERY TO AN
APPROPRIATELY LICENSED PROPELLER
REPAIR FACILITY. THIS WILL CAUSE THE
BLADE TO BE SCRAPPED BY THE REPAIR
FACILITY.
(1) Repair of a bent blade or blades is considered a major
repair. This type of repair must be accomplished by an
appropriately licensed propeller repair facility, and only
within approved guidelines.
